Thus ends two weeks of furied bike building. I am done shifting things around for now.
It went like this:
Get Milk Money, install parts from Ventana.
Sell Ventana frame/
Ride MM lots, decide I do not need a hardtail
Build up Rig rigid, perform Ride-off with Zion to see who stays-prefer the Zion.
Sell White Bros 100mm fork.
Obtain Josh's Karate Monkey to part out for money for his widow, decide I like it better than the Crosscheck which is too small for me, and buy it.
Sell Dan Crosscheck frame/fork, let him tear it down (he loves it).
Tear down Monkey and rebuild with Cross-Check parts. Really like it for a commuter, and voila NO TOE OVERLAP!
Move blingy light parts and longer cranks from Rig to Zion, stripping Rig completely to ready for sale.
Look at forlorn Ventana El Comandante Frame and matching fork sitting in a box, and a nice pile of leftover parts, and decide I can use a SS commuter.
Build Comandante with 32X14 gearing, Nanos and parts previously on Rig and Zion for commuter duty.
I am sick of working on bikes, but I have an excellent line up right now. Probably three more bikes than I need, but eh.
Karate Monkey Geared commuter
El Comandante SS commuter
Zion Rigid (steel) SS MTB
Milk Money FS SS MTB
Lunchbox big hit FS geared MTB
Year, that about covers it.
For sale:
Old Durace wheelset (rim brake) from Josh's Monkey
Old 170mm Square taper 5 bolt chimano cranks from Josh's Monkey.
I have loads of Nevegals if anyone wants to buy one. Also a new Dry X and Saguaro.
Random thoughts.

I'll hit you up for the cranks and Dry X if ya still got 'em. Back in town Thursday.
Nice stable. ;)
The cranks are yours. I don't know what they are worth, so let me know.
I think I actually want the Dry X. Need to ride it in anger to know.
